Yep. I've been around long enough to not give a fuck about any technology until it has been around for at least a decade. We're not there yet.

Our humans struggle with them too. It’s the only domain where you need actually to know everything . I wouldn’t touch this with a pole if our MTTR was dependent on it being successful though.

Try building a complex report or even a printable invoice output in Rails or Django.

If their stack wasn't so fucked up it wouldn't need this wrapper. (ex windows dev)

Yeah definitely affordable and quick. And can get all of those in London with zero effort. Most of the time I just search for food on Google Maps and pick something which doesn't look poisonous. For example, going here tomorrow at lunc

What the hell are you doing wrong? I never eat the same thing twice in London?!?

No luck. Lots of strategic decision making.

I've seen it yes. It's not even close to what LOB apps need in reality.

Most businesses don't really operate like that though. That's what has been sold to us as an idea and we are blinded by the environments we work within in the tech industry. Really a hell of a lot of it is bums on seats in offices

Sample size is irrelevant. The problem is bad people, not bad software. It ran a 50 seat ERP system that managed over 1000 suppliers and 500 customers, did all invoicing, inventory/stock management, logistics and financials. In the han

If Apple watch said anything about that it's probably wrong. It can't accurately measure VO2 max. Incidentally I got rid of mine recently. It is bliss not having one. Also VO2 max is a crappy measure of fitness. I apparently had

That's not even remotely close to the idea. It's conceptually entirely different. I'll note that Access existed in a completely usable form before the www even existed.

It did scale fine. We pointed it at SQL Server. Version control was in issue yes but you didn't really need it because ONE PERSON could literally do all the engineering work. You just copied the MDB file and suffixed it with the date.

Not even remotely near Access 2.0 from 1994.

Best thing is have a look at a short tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubmwp8kbfPc It has problems, as the other reply suggests, but most of those are easily surmountable in 2026.

I have a friend who's a professional translator. No it isn't. She's forever cleaning up after the mess it left people in. In fact business for her is really booming thanks to people who think that is the case. And I'm no

Fuck all this pointless noise, verbose analysis, LLMs and other associated crap. Just someone give me MS Access for the web with an SSO module and let me drive it. That'd cover 99% of LOB app needs and allow me to actually get shit don

Get in early. Know everything. Wide skill set. Arcane stuff.

I paid my mortgage off by being the insurance policy when that happens.

No. No one really gives a shit about AI other than the tech industry and vocal CEO culture which is just using it to bury recession and regular lay offs. Otherwise it's novelty value and frustration but no one is going to use it or pay

My productivity is generally measured in how much time I sit on the porcelain thinking throne first.

Another good example that for sure. You won't find me having any positive comments about LLMs.

Agree completely on all points. However there are two problems with it. Firstly it's a step towards gamification and having tried that model in a fintech on reputation scoring, it was a bit of a disaster. Secondarily, very few studies

It went on for a few months. The source data for the paper was synthesised and it was like trying to get blood out of a stone trying to get hold of it, clearly because they knew they were in trouble. Lots of research money was wasted trying

There's free and there's free. Affinity is a risk. Undocumented file formats (unlike PSD + LR database), no XMP support and vendor relying on AI to keep it free. Nope!

I will add it's a little more complicated than I wanted to let on here as I don't identify it in the process. But it definitely was misconduct on this one. I read the paper as well. My background is mathematics and statistics and

I have no plans to. I like Lightroom and Photoshop and am willing to keep paying for it. I will note that I have used Darktable extensively. But there isn't a good Photoshop alternative.

I'd believe there was some truth in that if they used any open apps but they just lock themselves into Google's ecosystem instead. All their data is siloed in some US cloud. If you run like that it doesn't matter what phone y

Not even surprised. My daughter tried to reproduce a well-cited paper a couple of years back as part of her research project. It was not possible. They pushed for a retraction but university don't want to do it because it would cause p
